Als haar vader belt dat het niet goed gaat met haar moeder, twijfelt ambulanceverpleegkundige Katja geen moment. “Ik heb gezegd: bel 112. Wij rijden er alvast heen.” Niet veel later staat ze niet tegenover zomaar een patiënt, maar tegenover haar eigen moeder. Ze blijkt een hartinfarct te hebben. "Ik kon de knop omzetten", vertelt ze.

Het is in grote steden niet meer voor te stellen, maar in sommige dorpen kun kon je vanuit de touwtje uit de brievenbus-gedachte je auto op je eigen oprit parkeren zonder het ding op slot te doen. En toen dachten een paar autothekers: goh, laten wij nou eens kijken of die persoon wat waardevolle spulletjes in de auto heeft liggen. De Ericvanderburgers werden weggejaagd door de bewoners, die als afscheidscadeau nog getrakteerd werden op een grote bek. Het gaat waarschijnlijk om Ter Apel - als zoiets 1x gebeurt is het al vervelend, als zoiets iedere dag gebeurt is het ronduit rampzalig. Hoe zeggen ze dat ook alweer. Ter Apel, je HOEFT er niet te wonen?

Steve Ellis, the singer who found fame as the frontman of 60s pop-rockers Love Affair, has died aged 76. A message on social media announced that Ellis died “peacefully” on 30 October, after “complications from a chronic illness”.
With his stirring, heartfelt croon, Ellis gave voice to one of the most enduring hits of the 1960s: Everlasting Love, which topped the UK chart in 1968.

Supermarket chains in Sweden, Belgium and Luxembourg have said the temperatures of their refrigerators and freezers in dozens of stores rose overnight, prompting fears of a cyber-attack similar to one that caused millions of euros of food losses in France.
Sweden’s Coop chain told the daily Aftonbladet on Monday that six of its stores had been affected, while ICA said it was “aware that a limited number of stores were affected by an incident overnight which impacted their refrigeration and freezer systems”.

Unknown hackers have targeted Ukraine’s nationwide emergency alert mobile app, sending residents in Kyiv a warning that they were at risk of an imminent nuclear strike.
The app reported a high possibility of nuclear radiation late on Sunday. It also wrongly warned of a chemical threat to the Ukrainian capital and street-to-street fighting. The messages were written in English with spelling mistakes, as well as in Ukrainian.

The stratospheric polar vortex over the northern hemisphere is facing the prospect of an unusually early weakening. Forecast models suggest it could weaken significantly over the next 10 days, when it would typically be strengthening.
A major sudden stratospheric warming (SSW) event is possible. This could influence weather patterns in the following weeks, increasing the likelihood of persistent areas of high pressure across the mid-latitudes and colder conditions weeks later.

The murder of the taxi driver is utterly excruciating and the hanging at the end equally so. Both are shown in full, in close up and in real time. The condemned man’s last cigarette is smoked in full. The unease (to put it mildly) of the audience was palpable. Wiscot

Michigan Democrat Haley Stevens’ shocking last-minute endorsement of Mike Rogers, a Republican Senate candidate, has sparked fierce backlash from members of her party.
Stevens, who narrowly lost in the Democratic primary for Senate to Abdul El-Sayed, announced her support for Rogers after a feud with the El-Sayed campaign over an outside group’s campaign ad that blamed the high cost of living on US support for Israel.

Online betting is a bit like Donald Trump.
The prediction markets – platforms where users bet on whether events will occur – pretend to be populist, pushing the nabobs aside and representing the “wisdom of the crowd”. “This data is bottom-up, not elites-driven,” a Kalshi spokesperson told Reuters. But in fact, the markets are controlled by a few, skillful traders.

U.S. officials reportedly suggested the idea during talks in September as an incentive for Russia to halt strikes on Ukraine’s energy grid.
Every advance we make generates new friction. We solve one problem, and friction presents another. We step forward, and new resistance awaits. This is what progress means: that we have moved into territory that demands new understanding.
MOSKOU/KYIV (ANP/RTR) - De benarde Oekraïense stad Olesjky kan maandelijks humanitaire hulptransporten verwachten, zegt bezetter Rusland. Dat zou het land met bemiddelaar Melania Trump hebben afgesproken nu niet alle inwoners een gevechtspauze hebben aangegrepen om een veilig heenkomen te zoeken.
"Er zijn nog steeds mensen in Olesjky die hulp nodig hebben", zei de Russische ombudsvrouw Jana Lantratova maandag. Het was de bedoeling tijdens het bestand van de afgelopen dagen 750 mensen te evacueren, maar volgens haar waren het er aanzienlijk minder.
Het leven in Olesjky, op de linkeroever van de Dnipro, is sinds de Russische inval in februari 2022 steeds moeilijker geworden. Overal liggen mijnen en zijn drones op jacht. Inwoners kampen al maanden met tekorten aan voedsel, water en medicijnen. Na bemiddeling van de paus en de Amerikaanse first lady kwamen Oekraïne en Rusland een zesdaags staakt-het-vuren overeen om Olesjky te helpen.
